Kinematics the study of how things move Dynamics the study of why things move Forces (the push or pull on an object) cause things to move Newton proposed three Laws of Motion that allow us to understand how forces cause things to move

Slide 2

Four Basic Forces Applied force (F a ) a force that is done by an external cause (agent). It can be any direction. Gravitational force (F g or W) -- the force caused by gravity (weight). It always acts downward. Frictional force (F f ) -- a force that opposes motion and slows down objects. It is always parallel to the surface. Normal force (F n ) the force exerted by a surface on which an object is resting. It is always perpendicular to the surface.

Slide 3

A free body diagram (FBD) shows all of the forces that are present on an object both in the horizontal and vertical direction. Net force (F) the sum of all forces that act on an object. Example: book being pushed on table F x = F a - F f F y = F n - F g FaFa FfFf FnFn FgFg book FBDNet Force Equations

Slide 4

Mass A measurement of an objects quantity of matter A measurement of an objects inertia Inertia the tendency of objects to maintain their state of rest or to maintain constant velocity Example: car slams on brakes and items on seat fall to floor

Slide 5

Objects with a larger mass have a greater inertia. Therefore, they are harder to accelerate (speed up or slow down)

Slide 6

Inertia can give the impression that forces are being applied. Force is not being applied to rider. Rider is moving at constant velocity because of inertia.

Slide 7

Newtons First Law an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in uniform motion tends to stay in uniform motion (constant velocity) unless acted upon by a net external force Newtons First Law is also known as the Law of Inertia.

Slide 8

Newtons Second Law the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object and inversely proportional to its mass Newton observed some things about accelerating objects: The bigger the force, the greater the acceleration The larger the mass, the smaller the acceleration

Slide 9

F = ma F = force (Newtons) m = mass (kg) a = acceleration (m/s 2 )

Slide 10

What net force is required to bring a 1500-kg car to rest from a speed of 28 m/s within a distance of 55 m?

Slide 11

A 70-kg person traveling at 100 km/hr strikes a parked car. At the instant of impact, the seat belt restrains the person with a force of 21,000 N bring them to rest in the car. How far does the person travel before coming to rest?

Slide 12

When a force is applied to an object, it is always exerted by another object. Examples: a hammer hits a nail a child pulls a sled an apple is pulled to the Earth Newton believed that the force-providers also are force-receptors. Examples: the nail pushes back on the hammer the sled pulls back on the child the Earth is pulled to the apple

Slide 13

If every force has an equal and opposite force, why dos objects ever move? The forces are NOT exerted on the same object. Newtons Third Law Whenever one object exerts a force on an second object, the second exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first Evidence: Hammer causes the nail to accelerate (+ force) while the nail causes the hammer to decelerate (- force) Example: If a hammer exerts a 50-N force on a nail, the nail exerts a 50-N force on the hammer in the other direction.

Slide 14

Weight and Normal Force A measure of the gravitational force on an object Always directed downward (toward the center of the Earth F g = mg A persons mass does not change, but his weight does depending on the magnitude of gravitation force.

Slide 15

An average man has a weight of 686 N on the Earth. 1.What is the mans mass? 1.What would his weight be if he was standing on the moon (a g = 1.6 m/s 2 )

Slide 16

A person pulls upward on string attached to a box with a force of 150 N. The box has a mass of 12 kg. Does the box move upward and if so, with what acceleration does it move?

Slide 17

A contact force that is perpendicular to the surface The force that pushes up on the object resting on the surface Since the statue is at rest F N is equal and opposite to F G. F N has another equal and opposite force (F N is reaction force on table)

Slide 18

Friction Caused by a rough surface. Object on a rough surface actually has to move up and down because the two rough surfaces catch on each other. Because energy is used to move the moving object up and down, less energy is used to move the moving object forward. Friction is the resistance that an object experiences when moving.

Slide 19

The force of friction is influenced by two factors the surface on which an object is moving and the weight (gravitational force) of the object. F f = F n Coefficient of friction () indicates the roughness of the surface. Unique to each surface. Typically, the normal force of the object is just equal and opposite to the gravitational force (but not always).

Slide 20

Two Types of Friction Static (Stationary Object) If an object is at rest, an applied force has to exceed the maximum static frictional force of the object for it to move F fs = s F n Kinetic (Moving Object) If an object is moving, there is a kinetic frictional force that opposes motion (always less than static frictional force) F fk = k F n applied static friction box at rest appliedkinetic friction box in motion

Slide 21

A 10.0-kg box rests on a horizontal floor. The coefficient of static friction is 0.40 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.30. Determine the maximum static frictional force and the kinetic frictional force. Would the box move if a 10 N force was applied? If so, what would be its acceleration? Would the box move if a 40 N force was applied? If so, what would be its acceleration?
